I’m one of the few fans of the product here but then again I violate all the label instuctions. I give it no more than an hour between coats if it is dry to the touch (depends on temp and humidity of course). I use 00 steel wool between coats (vac and wipe of course). And I use foam brushes…let it start setting but keep working it until I start doing more harm than good.

Sorry Minwax but it works for me! And I love your product.

I have found that semi-gloss is the best. Gloss might be your problem. Satin turns out about the same as semi-gloss though with a little more final buffering.
